I am using net-wireless/iw-5.9 for
https://techship.com/faq/how-to-activate-the-data-connection-for-huawei-cellular-modules-over-the-usb-network-interface-in-linux/
my wifi and as far as I understand
this should be working with a modem as well.
net-dialup/ppp-2.4.9-r8 is installed. smstools are not. Would I need
them for data transfer?
I didn't find a guid at the gentoo wiki. Where could I find something?
Am I missing something obvious?
Thanks for the help.
Did you check out the generic guide[1] for USB WWAN modems? It looks pretty
consistent from when I set up a Gobi 3G card years ago. I got lazy and use
tethering.
This FAQ[2] walks you through a manual configuration of a Huawei WWWAN to test
the concept.
You will need to know you SIM PIN if used and certainly your APN for your Cell
Provider.
That ww* interface is auto-created and can be used with different
configuration/managnement tools[3].
Good Luck!

Thanks for this.
The wiki [1] showed I am missing
<*> USB driver for GSM and CDMA modems
So now there are /dev/ttyUSB0 to /dev/ttyUSB3
Does this mean I don't need the mode_switching stuff, since the modem is
already there?
Also usb_modeswitch is in portage. This is not mentioned in the wiki.
Might this part be outdated?
/etc/wvdial.conf
[Dialer Defaults]
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Modem Type = Analog Modem
; Phone = <Target Phone Number>
ISDN = 0
; Username = <Your Login Name>
Init1 = ATZ
; Password = <Your Password>
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
Baud = 9600
Does it matter it says "Analog Modem"?
Does using wvdial result in no need to use minicom like mentioned in [2]?
